We're back in Jersey having had a lovely break visiting Mum in France. She lives in rural Brittany which is very quiet & relaxing with beautiful countryside as in Bon Repos above.This is where the Daoulas river joins the canal which runs from Nantes to Brest& in the background you can see the ruins of the abbey gradually being restored having been destroyed by fire centuries ago.

I managed to finish the Klosjes quilt just in time, Mum was thrilled & surprised with her gift.

I had taken it to work at Durrell Wildlife Conservation Trust before we left & made the most of our beautiful grounds & granite buildings around the Manor house to have a little photo shoot.

The white door at the top of the above picture is the entrance to my office.

As I had been spending most of my time focusing on finishing the Klosjes quilt, my hexi flowers had been neglected ........

Love, love, love your quilt; and the photos are stunning (Kaffe Fasset eat your heard out!!!) Your flower garden is growing nicely too. So glad you had a nice time with your mum in France. Have a great weekend. Vreni

I was so inspired by your lovely fussy cut hexagons and they just keep on growing better each time. I bet your mum was thrilled with the klosjes quilt, still plodding on with mine - one day!! Clamshells is beautiful too. Sigh!! Such beautiful surroundings can only inspire such creativity.Love Shirley.

Gisele, congratulations... from the bottom of my heart. What a stunner, and your pictures! wow... And that's your office door?! :)Your mum must have been so so thrilled. I am happy you had a great break. I cannot wait until you reveal more of your clam-shells. I am not even going to comment on your flowers!!! ...unbelievable...:)
